You don't mind loosing your defaults and keychain?

Nope. I almost never use the admin account and so there's not much to
lose. All my day-to-day work is done in non-admin accounts.

The real reason why I want to create a new admin account and delete the
old one is because I wish to change my admin account's short user name.
It seems easier just to create a new one with the short user name that I
want than to try and change the existing one.
